Sorry I have been away and not in touch! We have been busy, busy and more busy at GGN. We are getting ready to launch a new site. Our new division will include our products but have an entirely different eco-focus.
For now, I wanted to point out a statistic you have probably heard a thousand times, but it is great food for thought...
"In 2006, Americans drank about 167 bottles of water each, but only recycled an average of 23 percent. That leaves 38 billion water bottles in landfills."
The plastic water bottle nags and bothers me daily. I have a real problem with it. The
more I educate myself on the "fleecing of America" when it comes to bottled water, the more upset I get.Of course, we have all heard someone say that they drank water from the tap and/or garden hose as a kid and turned out fine, but we sort of shrug it off. I think we shrug it off because some of those same people think it is fine to send their kids out without bike helmets because we didn't wear them back in the day.
In my investigating of this water jibberish, I heard an interesting suggestion from a coffee salesperson. Smell your water. If your water smells like nothing, then it is good to drink.
So, I drink my tap water. Sometimes. For the most part, I pull the water from my refrigerator filtration system. I use a reusable water bottle. If you are in my family and reading this, expect a reusable water bottle for Christmas!
